searching: looks like iv may be the Golden Rose, though I haven't yet worked out which pope and which consort

I reckon Pope Urban VIII and Henrietta Maria. She was queen consort of England, Scotland, and Ireland as the wife of King Charles I, and was the youngest daughter of King Henry IV of France.

1625 Henrietta Maria, Queen of England and Scotland Pope Urban VIII woman England and Scotland received at Amiens
